Ancient Justice, Modern Ways

[Verse] In the hills where the heather grows wide The old Brehons sat Their wisdom our guide No iron bars No chains to bind They sought the balance Heart and mind [Prechorus] It wasn't about revenge No Not a fight They mended the wrongs Made the broken right [Chorus] Restorative justice Hear its call A hand to lift Not to let you fall From ancient roots Let the new world see The Brehon law could set us free [Verse 2] A family stood when one went astray The kin would gather Debts to repay Not just the sinner The whole tribe would stand Healing the wound Not the guilty man's hand [Prechorus] Justice of the heart Not of the blade In the bonds of kinship Peace was made [Chorus] Restorative justice Hear its call A hand to lift Not to let you fall From ancient roots Let the new world see The Brehon law could set us free
